Question

Difference between flexibility method and stiffness method

Answer 1

Explanation:

When comparing the flexibility and stiffness methods, it is seen that the flexibility method requires the solution of equations of compatibility for unknown forces whereas the stiffness method requires the solution of equations of equilibrium for unknown displacements.

Answer 2

Answer:

Ꮧɴsᴡᴇʀ :

• Stiffness is the extent to which an object resists deformation in response to an applied force. The complementary concept is flexibility or pliability: the more flexible an object is, the less stiff it is.
